Lenovo Thinkpad E420s Build

The Lenovo ThinkPad E420s is the new business laptop that inherits the heritage of its predecessors, while adding a whole new style and design. The Lenovo ThinkPad disappointly does away with removable battery, the speaker is located above the keypad and runs along the horizontal length of the keyboard, the power button is located at the top right corner of the chassis.

The Lenovo ThinkPad E420s has a very neat design. The ThinkPad Edge E420s’ keyboard is easy to use as it has got the chiclet keys which will reduce the typing errors. The laptop’s traditional trackpad is pretty accurate with a smooth rubberized surface.An important feature of the Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E420s is its TrackPointwe must say it is the best and most accurate way to navigate the interface but it demands a little getting used to.

The Display of the Thinkpad Edge E420s is pretty good as it’s glossy and bright. The thing which we didn’t like about the display was its viewing angles. While watching HD movies we didn’t faced any sort of problems.
